Despite court neighborhoods, the United States sends “Venezuelan gang members” to El Salvador prison
Trump signed an order invoking the 1798 Alien Enemy Act, but it was not publicly announced until Saturday. The Wartime Administration allowed the president to detain or expel citizens of an enemy country, but was called only three times in major international conflicts.
Civil rights groups sued to block the order, and a federal judge on Saturday approved the temporary suspension of the order, apparently the plane had already headed to El Salvador. “Today, Tren de Aragua, the top 238 member of the Venezuelan criminal organization, arrived in our country,” Buckley said on X.
Buckley presented prisoners from the U.S. state at a meeting last month with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He said in his post that the alleged gang members have been sent to the country’s largest security terrorism incarceration center.
The detention and deportation order will apply to all Venezuelan Tren de Alagua members who are over the age of 14 and are not attributed to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.
But the American Civil Liberties Union and an allied group advanced, demanding that the U.S. District Court in Washington prohibit deportation – a bill of 1798 was not intended for use in peacetime. Judge James Boasberg issued any deportation in a 14-day new order on Saturday.Litigation against deportation
Meanwhile, the U.S.-Arab Anti-Discrimination Commission filed a lawsuit to challenge unconstitutionality, and the Trump administration’s actions to expel international students and scholars who protest or express support for Palestinian rights. The lawsuit comes after Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil is a 30-year-old U.S. resident.
